The setting 'radiation': 'solar_radiation', is copied from interceptor.py,
which is propagated into radiation in weewx. When changing to gw1000 api
driver, the data are lost. So I went back to the interceptor.py. You can
see the little gap in the graph during my test of the gw1000 driver:

I have changed the title into German in Weewx.conf
[[[[Generic]]]]
radiation = Sonnenstrahlung
So, somewhere the observation type radiation has to be filled with data. In
interceptor.py, this is done by 'solar_radiation' which comes from the
ecowitt-customized upload. I would just like to continue with these data.
